Shauquan Brown, 14, was arrested for bringing a gun to Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant Charter School.




A 14-year-old boy was arrested Friday after bringing a gun to his Brooklyn school.


After the principal of Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant Charter School got a tip that student Shauquan Brown had a weapon, a school safety agent searched the boy’s bag and found a .22-caliber pistol and ammunition, cops said.


Police took the boy into custody about 9 a.m.


“We are grateful that everyone is safe,” said school spokeswoman Barbara Martinez.


Shauquan was charged with criminal possession of a firearm on school grounds, criminal possession of a loaded weapon and criminal possession of a defaced weapon.


He was questioned in the 79th Precinct stationhouse while 14-year-old Kahton Anderson was in custody in the same building for allegedly shooting a stranger on a B15 bus.
